The 'desktop' file for an application has a list of MIME types that it is
associated with.

For the new (XDG) menu system these would be in "$KDEDIR/share/applications" or 
a subdirectory of that directory -- the KDE applications are in the 
subdirectory: "kde".  For the old menu system, these are in a subdirectory of: 
"$KDEDIR/share/applnk".

You can specify: "InitialPreference=" in an application 'desktop' file. 
However, this is overridden by the user's: "$HOME/.kde/share/config/profilerc" 
file.  AFAIK, there is no global 'profilerc' file.
